Tickety Boo - Exploring Mental Health with Care and Compassion

79 - I Don't Think I Know How to Relax (And I'm Tired of Pretending I Do)


Listen Later

Some of us aren't just tired — we're wired. Not because we don't want rest, but because we genuinely don't know how to.

In this episode of Tickety Boo, Andy, Ian and Iona talk about what no one really teaches us: how to switch off without guilt, and how to actually rest without needing to earn it first.

We dive into:

  • Why relaxing makes some of us feel anxious, lazy, or like we've done something wrong

  • How "rest" doesn't always mean lying on the sofa (and why active rest might suit you better)

  • The difference between collapse and recovery

  • And why rest isn't a reward — it's a requirement

You don't have to burn out to deserve a break. You just need to stop outsourcing your peace to someday.
